About Us

We are a highly-motivated and enthusiastic team of engineers, managers and sales people available to assist you in obtaining those elusive, 'hard to find' parts.

We are also experts in design, commissioning, service and maintenance of industrial combustion installations.

Please read our company history below to get an idea of the wealth and depth of the experience we have to offer and about how we have emerged as leaders in the combustion industry.

Company History:
Energy Systems and Equipment was founded in NZ in 1972. At that time the company was solely a service and agency company; it was the agent and service centre for Peabody Holmes UK, Peabody USA, and Peabody Gordon Piatt USA. It also supported the NZ company Hargraves who were selling agents for Hoval, Donkin, Jeavons, Hurl Nuway, and Maxon USA. Hargraves also had their own range of Steam Boilers all of which, we at ESE have been involved with the installation, commissioning and provision of service engineers.

In the early 1980's the owner was approached by a multimillion dollar company, a takeover ensued which was completed in 1982.

In 1985 the original owner Mr. Gimblett was approached by Rolls Royce Power to join their team in Australia and was duly appointed.

In 1989 Mr. Gimblett commenced operations in Australia servicing the Petrochemical, Power Generation and Sugar Industries along with many OME boiler manufacturers.

In 1992 the company was sold to Hamworthy Combustion Engineering and Mr. Gimblett was appointed their Managing Director for the Australasian region. During this period many of the products sold including Burners and Ignition Systems were redesigned by the Australian staff to comply with specific Australian requirements and standards instead of those inherent to the UK market. This relationship ended around 1999 due to the possible sale of the parent company in the UK.

The entire staff including Mr. Gimblett recommenced ESE Australia and ESE SE Asia, and to this date continues to service the same industries with most of the same staff. ESE today still design and manufacture most of their own combustion equipment and have retained long standing relationships with its international suppliers.

ESE is NOT a newcomer to the combustion industry having some 37 years of experience in equipment design, manufacture and services spread throughout the Australasian and the USA regions.

At ESE we pride ourselves on the fact we still service some of our original clients from 1972 - that is 37 years of service provision to the Combustion Industry!
